We have had another very
successful testing. With students testing for everything from their recommended
Black Belt to parts of second, third and fourth Dan. The testing was
outstanding! I am very proud of all the students that tested, their performance
was exciting and inspirational. If you were unable to attend, you missed out,
maybe next time.

So you may better understand
what happens at a Black Belt testing lets look at some of the requirements.
Break down an entire form (kata) into its street applications. Including
pressure point targets along with an explanation as to the system that governs
those points. Break 4 boards in 4 seconds or less. Create and execute a creative
break, using 3 boards together or separate, creativity being the key.
Proficiency with specialty techniques. In this case it was up to 50 Torite Jitsu
techniques and applications. Writing an essay or taking a written test. Plus
Sparring, Forms, Self Defense, Hand Techniques, Foot techniques and
combinations.
